Title:
  warn if file on disk changes

Status in Inkscape:
  Triaged
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  An SVG file that is being viewed by Inkscape may be
  changed externally by another application without
  Inkscape raising a hand. Although this may sound like a
  bug it may be a cool feature if one builds an
  application that frequently updates the SVG file and
  the changes are being viewed on screen with Inkscape.
  So we have two scenarios:

  Feature:
  The Revert command in the File menu is changed into a
  dialogue box where the user can specify how often
  Inkscape should reload the file, thus refreshing the
  screen with the new updates. Something like:
  "[checkbox] Revert every [data field] seconds"

  Bug:
  Tune Inkscape so that it complaints if it realises that
  the SVG file has been changed externally. Provide an
  option to deactivate this behavior by activating the
  feature presented above.

  Thanks!
